Hot dog buns come in packs of 6. Hot dog weiners in packs of 8… What up with that?

On days 10 and 11 all butterflies emerged and flew away. I gave 1 pupa to Kim who had spotted the caterpillars a few weeks ago.

Marie-Tangerine had fun with Miruna (turned 7), Sebastien, Evelyn, Stephanie and Jonathan at McDonald’s. Evalyn’s mom was Marie-Tangerine’s daycare educator when she was 3.

Marie-Tangerine attended a classical recital with mom’s friend Dierdre Brown. Featured here is the end of “Oygn” which Marie-Tangerine sang with made up words for the rest of the afternoon.

The caterpillars are changing into chrysalids one after the other.

On Day 1 (Night 1) the caterpillars ate all the host bush greenery collected within 1 hour. Since the host bush belongs to someone else, mom purchased commercial dill from the grocery store. Day 2, they are more concerned about feeling around their new environment.

We got a call from Kim who announced that there were beautiful caterpillars in the garden around her store. She requested pictures as they are her favorite colors. These are some of the pictures of the caterpillars on the host bush.

Yesterday after swimming at the Y we went to Toy’R'Us and bought a toy metal detector. It actually works quite well and we found a few uninteresting things: A drill bit, a golf ball, a lace flower and glass pebble and a raven feather and plenty of bottle caps and gum wrappers. Obviously most of those things were just easy to see while we were looking for metal. Nothing treasure-like yet.

Today we found a small key and 2$… but again that was in plain view! Maybe we just need to pay more attention to where we walk.
